Some few of the Students, who are their own Guardians, have received permission from the Authorities of the Institution to be absent for a short time at the Convention. This I have considered it important to make known to you, as otherwise it might seem that they had absented themselves without leave. I have the honor to be with the most profound respect, Your obed Servant RC (DLC) . Docketed...

Dr Dunglison presents his respectful salutations to Mr. Madison, & would wish the Servant with the swelled neck to take 10 drops of the Tincture in the phial, twice a day, in a little sugared water, until the whole is consumed, when the Doctor would be glad to know whether the tumor is diminished by its use. Should symptoms of cholera morbus arise during the administration of the medicine, it...

The last accounts from Montpellier not representing you as in perfect health, I shall endeavour to visit you on Sunday morning next, when I expect the Stage will deposit me at the Mill.

I have received the inclosed letter from a respectable firm in Boston, and feel disposed to employ them in purchasing the Books which we require at the University.

Gray & Bowen is so moderate as I think to deserve...

"Professor Davis begs of me to express to you officially his desire to occupy my Pavilion & grounds when I leave the University. May I beg of you to let his desire be placed before the Visitors at such time as you may think proper.

9To James Madison from Robley Dunglison, 1 July 1826 (Madison Papers)
In answer to your kind Communication of the 27th. I have to express my regret that my visit to Montpellier will be delayed by the serious indisposition of Mr. Jefferson.

I think it would be important to the University, that we should have a list of the officers and Students printed off for Distribution in the State & other parts. This would not cost much & if you see no objection to it, I will have it done immediately: As it involves expence, though trifling, I do not desire to undertake it without the consent of the Rector. I likewise feel emboldened to...
